it's a raptor. I have on for sale in misc. class. It's for fast xfers/loading/swapfiles etc. Seek time is very low and has steady fast thoroughput for large files. Not meant for long term storage.

I was using 3X 36GB raptors in RAID 0 as an HDD for the pagefile for windows and swap file drive for graphic and video apps. Decided 3 was overkill and went down to 2 raid0 and am selling one.

Something along these lines would be better, and cheaper. Unless you're doing some major gaming, then I'd go for the other computer. Yeah, that computer is a good deal, but that's a lot of money.

That's what I have done. I got a great deal on 2 Raptors, so they're being used in my overclocking computer. They're great drives.

i still say u go dx10 for crysis and ut3 or farcry2

the 8800 is dx10

That is a pretty good price for that system. As stated, storage is CHEAP. 300gb can be had for less than 100 dollars. 8800 is dx10.

A legit copy of windows too....*ponders* I don't even remember what that looks like anymore //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
